Things to See and Do

Archaeological sites, Monuments and Museums

Greece used to be called 'the birthplace of Western civilization' and there’s no better advice for international students than to visit its archaeological sites, museums and monuments. About 2500 years ago, the Greeks created an admirable civilization. Even more, they tried out democracy, started the Olympic Games and left new ideas in science, art and philosophy. Thus, there’s enough to explore to keep international students and visitors busy for a long time and make them come back again and again as tourists after they graduate.

Archaeological sites and museums in Greece typically follow winter hours from November 1 to March 31, and summer hours from April 1 to October 31.
